"Thorazine can control the agitated, beligerant senile and help the patient to live a composed and usefuf life".....Absolutely, as you can then channel his energies to useful undertakings,like using that cane of his to beat the s**t oughta Liberals and other lowlifes.

From the Wikipedia article on Aspirin:

Bayer began marketing aspirin in July 1899.[7] 'Aspirin' was patented on March 6, 1899.[10] It was marketed alongside another of Hoffmann's products, an acetylated derivative of morphine called 'Heroin' that he invented 11 days after aspirin[citation needed]. Heroin was initially the more successful of the two painkillers and it was common belief that it was healthier than aspirin. But, as heroin's shortcoming of addictiveness became more obvious, aspirin stepped to the forefront. Aspirin was originally sold as a powder (still the preferred form in many European countries) and was an instant success; in 1914, Bayer introduced aspirin tablets.

Was once prescribed Thorazine in college when I had uninterrupted hiccups for four days running. Two pills later, they stopped.

As I approach senility, I'll keep that good reputation in mind.

Those were the good old days. Plain talk. Before the f-king lawyers started cluttering up ad copy with their ramblings.
